In a group of lightworkers, everyone will consider the effect of their actions on others before doing something. It doesn't mean they won't do something that hurts me, but they'll usually avoid it if possible.
I think it really comes down to what you need to have to consider an evening "fun". I also think many people have a much more stodgy image of lightworkers than they need to. Being a lightworker doesn't mean you have to be a nun or a monk and frown at every little thing that's not perfect and morally pure. I have no problem spending a friday evening lighting pianos on fire... as long as it's a non-functioning piano that belongs to somebody in the arsonist's group, and in a location where it won't set other things on fire. (My cousin did this a few weeks ago in Wyoming. Pickup trucks. Beer. Music Majors. Good times.)
I ran across this quote a while back, and it matches my experience so far:
“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.” Simone Weil |
There's probably something to that.
That said I don't believe in "lightworkers" or "darkworkers" and think everyone has a bit of both in them.
